Book Review: Hunted (A House of Night Novel) by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast

2 stars

Hunted, the fifth book in the House of Night novel series is weak in comparison to the first four books in the series. This book is filled with unnecessary and uninteresting details, and the events that take place in the book only span over two days.

Zoey Redbird – the main character – is initially portrayed as an excellent role model for teens in Marked (book one), but now seems to be a good example of a teenager who continuously makes bad choices. After going from three boyfriends at once to none in Chosen (the third book), she’s back to three again, seemingly sending the message that cheating is okay.

With only one interesting event that lasted about four pages, Hunted is utterly mundane.

There are still a few books left. In my opinion this book was just a set up for the next to come

I honestly didn't think it was that bad of a book. Although i do agree it wasn's as good as some of the others, it was still pretty interesting to read. Perhaps the authors weren't trying to send a message that cheating is right, but that every person (including teenage girls) makes mistakes, and it is up to them to sort it out, and make the right choices. Just my opinion though. I'd give it three and a half stars.
